Learn how to install PTFE feet on your gaming mouse for smooth, consistent gliding. Step-by-step instructions with common mistakes to avoid.

Quick answer

Installing PTFE feet on your gaming mouse is a straightforward process that restores smooth gliding and responsive feel. Follow these steps to replace worn skates without damaging your mouse.

Why replace PTFE feet?

Over time, the factory PTFE feet on your gaming mouse wear down, causing increased friction and inconsistent glide. Replacing them with fresh 0.8mm PTFE feet restores that low-friction feel you had out of the box. The [ADDON]PTFE Feet 0.8mm are specifically designed for Pulsar Gaming Gears mice, ensuring a proper fit and consistent performance.

What you need before you start

You'll need a replacement set of PTFE feet (like the [ADDON]PTFE Feet 0.8mm), a clean workspace, a hairdryer or heat gun (low setting), tweezers or a plastic spudger, and isopropyl alcohol wipes. Avoid using metal tools near the sensor or PCB.

Step-by-step installation

Remove the old PTFE feet: Heat each old foot with a hairdryer on low for 15-20 seconds to soften the adhesive. Use tweezers or a plastic spudger to gently peel the foot from one corner. Avoid pulling too fast, which can leave adhesive residue. If the foot tears, remove the remaining pieces carefully with the spudger.
Clean the recessed area: Wipe the empty recess with an isopropyl alcohol wipe to remove any adhesive residue and dust. Let it dry completely (about 30 seconds). Any leftover adhesive will prevent the new foot from sitting flat. A clean surface ensures the new foot sticks evenly and doesn't lift during use.
Align and apply the new PTFE foot: Peel the backing from the new [ADDON]PTFE Feet 0.8mm. Align the foot with the recess using the edges as a guide. Press down firmly from the center outward to eliminate air bubbles. Do not reposition once the adhesive touches the surface. Check that the foot sits flush with the surrounding mouse surface before pressing fully.
Repeat for all feet and test glide: Install the remaining PTFE feet using the same method. Once done, place the mouse on your mousepad and test the glide. It should feel smooth and consistent. If a foot feels loose, reheat gently and press again. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before intense gaming sessions.
